DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In order that the embodiments of the present disclosure are described more clearly and completely hereinafter with reference to drawings of embodiments of the present disclosure and in conjunction with implementations. Apparently, the embodiments described herein are some embodiments, not all embodiments, of the present disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 1 , FIG. 1 is a structure diagram of a pixel circuit of a display panel according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 2 is a structure diagram of a pixel circuit of the display panel according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 29 is a structure diagram of a pixel circuit of the display panel according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 30 is a structure diagram of a pixel circuit of the display panel according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. The display panel provided in this embodiment includes a pixel circuit 10 and a light-emitting element 20. The pixel circuit 10 includes a data write device 11, a drive device 12, and a compensation device 13. The drive device 12 is configured to provide a drive current for the light-emitting element 20, and the drive device 12 includes a drive transistor T2. The data write device 11 is configured to provide a data signal Vdata for the drive device 12, and the data write device 11 is connected to a source S of the drive transistor T2. The compensation device 13 is configured to compensate for a threshold voltage of the drive transistor T2. The pixel circuit 10 further includes a bias adjustment device 14, and the bias adjustment device 14 is connected between the source S or a drain D of the drive transistor T2 and a bias adjustment signal terminal. The working process of the pixel circuit 10 includes a bias adjustment stage. In the bias adjustment stage, the bias adjustment device 14 is turned on so that a bias adjustment signal V0 is provided to the source S or the drain D of the drive transistor T2. As shown in FIG. 1 , in an embodiment, the drive transistor T2 is a PMOS transistor, and the bias adjustment signal V0 is a high-level signal V0H, the bias adjustment device 14 is connected between a drain D of the drive transistor T2 and a bias adjustment signal terminal. As shown in FIG. 29 , in an embodiment, the drive transistor T0 is a PMOS transistor, and the bias adjustment signal V0 is a high-level signal V0H, the bias adjustment device 14 is connected between a source S of the drive transistor T0 and a bias adjustment signal terminal. In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2 , the drive transistor T2 is an NMOS transistor, and the bias adjustment signal V0 is a low-level signal V0L, the bias adjustment device 14 is connected between a drain D of the drive transistor T2 and a bias adjustment signal terminal. In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 30 , the drive transistor T0 is an NMOS transistor, and the bias adjustment signal V0 is a low-level signal V0L, the bias adjustment device 14 is connected between a source S of the drive transistor T0 and a bias adjustment signal terminal.

It is to be noted that FIGS. 1-2 and 29-30 illustrate only the key structures of the preceding embodiment and does not include all the structures operating in the circuit. The complete circuit structure is gradually shown in the following description of this embodiment. In the following embodiments, only the case where the bias adjustment device is connected between a drain of the drive transistor and a bias adjustment signal terminal is used as an example for description, and the design with the case where the bias adjustment device is connected between a source of the drive transistor and a bias adjustment signal terminal may refer to the design with the case where the bias adjustment device is connected between a drain of the drive transistor and a bias adjustment signal terminal, which will not be repeated herein.

In this embodiment, the pixel circuit 10 includes the data write device 11. An input terminal of the data write device 11 is configured to receive the data signal Vdata. A control terminal of the data write device 11 is configured to receive a scan signal S1. An output terminal of the data write device 11 is electrically connected to the source S of the drive device 12. It is to be understood that the source S of the drive device 12 is a second node N2. The scan signal S1 received by the pixel circuit 10 is a pulse signal, and an effective pulse of the scan signal S1 controls a transmission path between the input terminal of the data write device 11 and the output terminal of the data write device 11 to be connected, so that the data signal Vdata is provided to the source S of the drive device 12. An invalid pulse of the scan signal S1 controls the transmission path between the input terminal of the data write device 11 and the output terminal of the data write device 11 to be disconnected. Therefore, under the control of the scan signal S1, the data write device 11 provides the data signal Vdata to the source of the drive device 12 or not.

The pixel circuit 10 includes the drive device 12. A second end of the drive device 12 is coupled to the light-emitting element 20. The drive device 12 includes the drive transistor T2. After the drive transistor T2 is turned on, the drive device 12 provides the drive current for the light-emitting element 20. As shown in FIG. 1 , in a case where the drive transistor T2 is PMOS, a source of the drive transistor T2 is electrically connected to a first end of the drive device 12, and a drain of the drive transistor T2 is electrically connected to a second end of the drive device 12. As shown in FIG. 2 , in a case where the drive transistor T2 is NMOS, the source of the drive transistor T2 is electrically connected to the second end of the drive device 12, and the drain of the drive transistor T2 is electrically connected to the first end of the drive device 12. In this embodiment, the data write device 11 is connected to the source S of the drive transistor T2. It is to be understood that a source and a drain of a same transistor are not fixed or cannot be changed, but can be changed as a drive state of the transistor changes.

The pixel circuit 10 includes the compensation device 13, and the compensation device 13 is configured to compensate for a threshold voltage of the drive transistor T2. A first pole of the compensation device 13 is electrically connected to a first node N1 (that is, a control terminal of the drive device 12). A control terminal of the compensation device 13 is configured to receive a scan signal S2. A second pole of the compensation device 13 is electrically connected to a third node N3 (that is, a drain D of the drive device 12). The scan signal S2 received by the pixel circuit 10 is a pulse signal, and an effective pulse of the scan signal S2 controls a transmission path between the first pole of the compensation device 13 and the second pole of the compensation device 13 to be connected so that a voltage between the control terminal of the drive device 12 and the drain D of the drive device 12 is adjusted, and the threshold voltage of the drive transistor T2 is compensated. An invalid pulse of the scan signal S2 controls the transmission path between the first pole of the compensation device 13 and the second pole of the compensation device 13 to be disconnected. Therefore, under the control of the scan signal S2, the compensation device 13 compensates for a threshold voltage of the drive device 12 or not.

The pixel circuit 10 includes the bias adjustment device 14. The bias adjustment device 14 is connected between the drain D of the drive transistor T2 and the bias adjustment signal terminal. The bias adjustment signal terminal provides a bias adjustment signal V0. The bias adjustment device 14 is configured to provide the bias adjustment signal V0 to the drain D of the drive transistor T2 in the bias adjustment stage. An output terminal of the bias adjustment device 14 is electrically connected to the drain D of the drive device 12. A control terminal of the bias adjustment device 14 is configured to receive a scan signal SV. An input terminal of the bias adjustment device 14 is connected to the bias adjustment signal terminal. The scan signal SV received by the pixel circuit 10 is a pulse signal, and an effective pulse of the scan signal SV controls a transmission path between the input terminal and the output terminal of the bias adjustment device 14 to be connected so that the bias adjustment signal V0 is provided to the drain D of the drive device 12. An invalid pulse of the scan signal SV controls the transmission path between the input terminal of the bias adjustment device 14 and the output terminal of the bias adjustment device 14 to be disconnected. Therefore, under the control of the scan signal SV, the bias adjustment device 14 provides the bias adjustment signal V0 for the drain D of the drive device 12 or not.

A working process of the pixel circuit 10 includes a bias adjustment stage. In the bias adjustment stage, the scan signal SV is an effective pulse so that the bias adjustment device 14 is turned on, and the bias adjustment signal V0 is provided to the drain of the drive transistor T2. In a non-bias adjustment stage, the scan signal SV is an invalid pulse so that the bias adjustment device 14 is turned off.

In a non-bias adjustment stage of the pixel circuit 10 such as a light emission stage, the drive transistor T2 is in an ON state. As shown in FIG. 1 , in a case where the drive transistor T2 is PMOS, the drive transistor T2 is in an ON state, that is, in a state where the potential of the gate of the drive transistor T2 is lower than the source potential of the drive transistor T2. However, in this case, the drive transistor T2 is working in an unsaturated state, and the voltage of the drain of the drive transistor T2 is often lower than the voltage of the gate of the drive transistor T2 so that the PMOS transistor is turned on while the voltage of the drain of the drive transistor is lower than the voltage of the gate thereof. Moreover, a voltage difference and a potential difference between the voltage of the drain and the voltage of the gate are often relatively great. As shown in FIG. 2 , in a case where the drive transistor T2 is NMOS, the drive transistor T2 is in an ON state, that is, in a state where the potential of the gate of the drive transistor T2 is greater than the source potential of the drive transistor T2, and the voltage of the drain of the drive transistor T2 is a PVDD signal so that the NMOS transistor is turned on while the voltage of the drain of the drive transistor is greater than the voltage of the gate thereof. Moreover, the voltage difference and the potential difference between the voltage of the drain and the voltage of the gate are often relatively great. Such a setting for long-term would cause the ions inside the drive transistor to be polarized, and further to form a built-in electric field inside the drive transistor, resulting in a continuous increase of the threshold voltage of the drive transistor.

FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a drift of an Id-Vg curve of a drive transistor. As shown in FIG. 3 , the Id-Vg curve drifts, which affects the drive current flowing into the light-emitting element, and affecting the display uniformity. In this embodiment, the bias adjustment stage is added to the working process of the pixel circuit 10. In the bias adjustment stage, the bias adjustment device 14 is turned on, and the bias adjustment signal V0 provided by the bias adjustment signal terminal is written into the drain D of the drive transistor T2 through the turned-on bias adjustment device 14 so that the potential difference between the drain and the gate is adjusted.

As shown in FIG. 1 , the drive transistor T2 is PMOS, and the bias adjustment signal V0 is a high-level signal V0H. In the bias adjustment stage, the compensation device 13 is turned off, and the drain D of the drive transistor T2 is configured to receive the high-level signal V0H. In this case, compared to the non-bias adjustment stage, the potential of the drain of the drive transistor T2 is increased to a certain extent in the bias adjustment stage so that the potential of the gate, the potential of the source S, and the potential of the drain D of the drive transistor T2 in the bias adjustment stage are adjusted. In an embodiment, the potential of the drain V0H of the drive transistor T2 is higher than the potential of the gate of the drive transistor T2, that is, the potential of the third node N3 is higher than the potential of the first node N1 so that the reverse bias of the drive transistor T2 is achieved, and weakening the degree of ion polarization inside the drive transistor T2 and reducing the threshold voltage of the drive transistor T2. The threshold voltage of the drive transistor T2 is adjusted by biasing the drive transistor T2 so that the potential difference between the potential of the gate of the drive transistor and the potential of the drain of the drive transistor T2 is ameliorated.

As shown in FIG. 2 , the drive transistor T2 is NMOS, and the bias adjustment signal V0 is a low-level signal V0L. In the bias adjustment stage, the compensation device 13 is turned off, and the drain D of the drive transistor T2 is configured to receive the low-level signal V0L. In an embodiment, the voltage of the low-level signal V0L is lower than the voltage of PVDD. In this case, compared to the non-bias stage, the potential of the drain of the drive transistor T2 is decreased to a certain extent in the bias adjustment stage so that the potential of the gate, the potential of the source S, and the potential of the drain D of the drive transistor T2 in the bias adjustment stage are adjusted. In an embodiment, the potential of the drain V0L of the drive transistor T2 is lower than the potential of the gate of the drive transistor T2, that is, the potential of the third node N3 is lower than the potential of the first node N1 so that the reverse bias of the drive transistor T2 is achieved, and weakening the degree of ion polarization inside the drive transistor T2 and reducing the threshold voltage of the drive transistor T2. The threshold voltage of the drive transistor T2 is adjusted by biasing the drive transistor T2 so that the potential difference between the potential of the gate of the drive transistor and the potential of the drain of the drive transistor T2 is ameliorated.

Based on above, in the bias adjustment stage, the potential difference between the potential of the gate of the drive transistor and the potential of the drain of the drive transistor T2 may be adjusted. In such arrangement, the internal characteristic of the drive transistor T2 are affected so that the influence of the potential difference between the potential of the gate of the drive transistor and the potential of the drain of the drive transistor T2 in the non-bias stage on the internal characteristic of the drive transistor T2 may be balanced. Apparently, the decrease in the threshold voltage of the drive transistor T2 in the bias adjustment stage may balance the increase in the threshold voltage of the drive transistor T2 in the non-bias stage. In such arrangement, it is ensured that the Id-Vg curve does not drift, and thus the display uniformity of the display panel is ensured.

In an embodiment, the data write device 11 includes a first transistor T1, an input terminal of the first transistor T1 is configured to receive the data signal Vdata, an output terminal of the first transistor T1 is connected to the source of the drive transistor T2, and a gate of the first transistor T1 is configured to receive the scan signal S1. In an embodiment, the compensation device 13 includes a third transistor T3, a first pole of the third transistor T3 is connected to the gate (equivalent to the first node N1) of the drive transistor T2, a second pole of the third transistor T3 is connected to the drain D (equivalent to the third node N3) of the drive transistor T2, and a gate of the third transistor T3 is configured to receive the scan signal S2. In an embodiment, the bias adjustment device 14 includes a fourth transistor T4, an input terminal of the fourth transistor T4 is connected to the bias adjustment signal terminal, an output terminal of the fourth transistor T4 is connected to the drain D of the drive transistor T2, and a gate of the fourth transistor T4 is configured to receive the scan signal SV.

According to the different types of the preceding transistors, materials for preparing the transistors may be reasonably selected. For example, as shown in FIG. 1 , in an embodiment, the first transistor T1, the drive transistor T2, and the fourth transistor T4 are all PMOS and low-temperature polysilicon semiconductor transistors; the third transistor T3 is NMOS and is an oxide semiconductor transistor, which may be an indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) semiconductor transistor in an embodiment. For example, as shown in FIG. 2 , in an embodiment, the first transistor T1 is PMOS and a low-temperature polysilicon semiconductor transistor, while the drive transistor T2, the third transistor T3, and the fourth transistor T4 are all NMOS and oxide semiconductor transistors, which may be indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) semiconductor transistors in an embodiment, and is conducive to stabilizing the potential of the drive transistor. The oxide semiconductor transistor has the advantages of high mobility, good uniformity, transparency, and simple manufacturing process. Compared with the silicon-based semiconductor transistor, the oxide semiconductor transistor has better threshold voltage uniformity, less leakage, and relatively low hysteresis and is suitable for the manufacturing of large-size display products. However, it is to be understood that the models of the first transistor, the second transistor, the third transistor and the fourth transistor are not limited to the examples shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 . The relevant practitioners can reasonably select the models thereof according to product requirements. For example, the first transistor is NMOS, and the fourth transistor is NMOS. It is to be understood that for a PMOS transistor, the effective pulse received by the gate of the PMOS transistor is a low-level signal, and the invalid pulse received by the gate of the PMOS transistor is a high-level signal. For an NMOS transistor, the effective pulse received by the gate of the NMOS transistor is a high-level signal, and the invalid pulse received by the gate of the NMOS transistor is a low-level signal.

In embodiments of the present disclosure, the working process of the pixel circuit includes the bias adjustment stage. In the bias adjustment stage, the bias adjustment device is turned on, and the bias adjustment signal at the bias adjustment signal terminal is written into the drain of the drive transistor through the turned-on bias adjustment device so that a potential of the drain of the drive transistor is adjusted, and the potential difference between a potential of the gate of the drive transistor and the potential of the drain of the drive transistor is ameliorated. It is known that the pixel circuit includes at least one non-bias stage. In a case where the drive current is generated in the drive transistor, the drive transistor being at the non-bias state for long-term may cause the I-V curve of the drive transistor to drift, and cause the threshold voltage of the drive transistor to drift. In the bias adjustment stage, the potential of the gate of the drive transistor and the potential of the drain of the drive transistor are adjusted so that the drift of the I-V curve of the drive transistor in the non-bias stage can be balanced, and ameliorating the phenomenon of threshold voltage drift of the drive transistor and ensuring the display uniformity of the display panel.

By way of example, referring to FIGS. 1 and 2 , in an embodiment, the pixel circuit 10 further includes a reset device 15. One end of the reset device 15 is connected to a reset signal terminal and is configured to receive a reset signal Vref, and the other end of the reset device 15 is connected to the gate of the drive transistor T2. In a reset stage, the reset device 15 is turned on so that the reset signal Vref is provided to the gate of the drive transistor T2. In this embodiment, in the reset stage, the reset device 15 directly provides the reset signal Vref to the gate of the drive transistor T2.

A control terminal of the reset device 15 is configured to receive a scan signal S3. The scan signal S3 received by the pixel circuit 10 is a pulse signal, and an effective pulse of the scan signal S3 controls a transmission path between an input terminal and an output terminal of the reset device 15 to be turned on so that the reset signal Vref is written into the gate of the drive device T2. An invalid pulse of the scan signal S3 controls the transmission path between the input terminal and the output terminal of the reset device 15 to be disconnected. Therefore, under the control of the scan signal S3, the reset device 15 writes the reset signal Vref into the gate of the drive device 12 or not.

In an embodiment, the reset device 15 includes a fifth transistor T5, an input terminal of the fifth transistor T5 is connected to the reset signal terminal, an output terminal of the fifth transistor T5 is connected to the gate (equivalent to the first node N1) of the drive transistor T2, and the gate of the fifth transistor T5 is configured to receive the scan signal S3. In an embodiment, the fifth transistor T5 is NMOS and an oxide semiconductor transistor, which may be an indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) semiconductor transistor in an embodiment. In other embodiments, the fifth transistor may also be PMOS and a silicon-based semiconductor transistor, which may be a low-temperature polysilicon (LTPS) semiconductor transistor, which is not limited herein.

The working process of the pixel circuit 10 further includes a reset stage. In the reset stage, the effective pulse of the scan signal S3 controls the reset device 15 to be turned on, and then the reset signal Vref provided by the reset signal terminal is written into the gate of the drive transistor T2 through the turned-on reset device 15 so that the gate of the drive transistor T2 is reset. For a PMOS drive transistor T2, the reset signal Vref is usually a negative voltage signal such as −7 V so that the voltage of the gate of the drive transistor T2 remains negative in the reset stage, which facilitates the subsequent bias adjustment and data writing. For an NMOS drive transistor T2, the reset signal Vref is usually a positive voltage signal such as +6 V so that the voltage of the gate of the drive transistor T2 remains positive in the reset stage, which facilitates the subsequent bias adjustment and data writing.

The pixel circuit shown in FIG. 1 is used as an example. FIG. 4 is a timing diagram of the pixel circuit of FIG. 1 . In conjunction with FIGS. 1 and 4 , in the reset stage, the effective pulse of the scan signal S3 controls the reset device 15 to be turned on, and the reset signal Vref with a negative voltage is written into the gate of the drive transistor T2 through the turned-on reset device 15; in the bias adjustment stage, the bias adjustment device 14 is turned on and the compensation device 13 is turned off, and the high-level bias adjustment signal V0H is written into the drain of the drive transistor T2 through the turned-on bias adjustment device 14, where the compensation device 13 remains to be turned off. In this case, the voltage of the gate of the drive transistor T2 is lower than the voltage of the drain of the drive transistor T2 so that the voltage of the gate of the drive transistor T2 and the voltage of the drain of the drive transistor T2 are biased.

In an embodiment, in the bias adjustment stage, the compensation device 13 is turned off, and during at least part of the time period of the bias adjustment stage, the reset device 15 is turned on so that the pixel circuit 10 performs the reset stage at a same time. During at least part or all of the time period of the bias adjustment stage, the reset stage is performed. On the one hand, the potential of the drain of the drive transistor T2 is adjusted by using the bias adjustment signal V0; and on the other hand, the potential of the gate of the drive transistor T2 is adjusted by using the reset signal Vref so that the voltage of the gate of the drive transistor T2 and the voltage of the drain of the drive transistor T2 can be adjusted at a same time, which is conducive to improving the bias effect, and further conductive to reducing a duration of a pre-stage of one frame of picture, and increasing a refresh frequency.

The pixel circuit shown in FIG. 1 is used as an example. FIG. 5 is another timing diagram of the pixel circuit of FIG. 1 . In conjunction with FIGS. 1 and 5 , in the repetition period of the reset stage and the bias adjustment stage, the reset device 15 and the bias adjustment device 14 are turned on at a same time, and the compensation device 13 is turned off so that the reset signal Vref is written into the gate of the drive transistor T2 through the turned-on reset device 15, and at the same time, the bias adjustment signal V0H is written into the drain of the drive transistor T2 through the turned-on bias adjustment device 14. Both the voltage of the gate and the voltage of the drain of the drive transistor T2 are biased.

The pixel circuit shown in FIG. 2 is used as an example. FIG. 6 is a timing diagram of the pixel circuit of FIG. 2 . In conjunction with FIGS. 2 and 6 , in the repetition period of the reset stage and the bias adjustment stage, the effective pulse of the scan signal S3 controls the reset device 15 to be turned on, and the reset signal Vref with a positive voltage is written into the gate of the drive transistor T2 through the turned-on reset device 15; at the same time, the effective pulse of the scan signal SV controls the bias adjustment device 14 to be turned on, the compensation device 13 is turned off, and a low-level bias adjustment signal V0L is written into the drain of the drive transistor T2 through the turned-on bias adjustment device 14. In this case, the voltage of the gate of the drive transistor T2 is higher than the voltage of the drain of the drive transistor T2 so that both the voltage of the gate and the voltage of the drain of the drive transistor T2 are biased. In other embodiments, the time period of the reset stage and the time period of the bias adjustment stage do not overlap.

By way of example, as shown in FIG. 7 , FIG. 7 is a structure diagram of a pixel circuit of the display panel according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 8 , FIG. 8 is a structure diagram of a pixel circuit of the display panel according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to FIGS. 7 and 8 , the pixel circuit 10 further includes the reset device 15. One end of the reset device 15 is connected to the reset signal terminal and is configured to receive the reset signal Vref, and the other end of the reset device 15 is connected to the drain D of the drive transistor T2. In the reset stage, the reset device 15 and the compensation device 13 are turned on so that the reset signal Vref is provided to the gate of the drive transistor T2.

In this embodiment, the output terminal of the reset device 15 is connected to the drain D of the drive transistor T2, and the compensation device 13 is connected between the drain D of the drive transistor T2 and the gate of the drive transistor T2. In the reset stage, the reset device 15 and the compensation device 13 should be turned on. The output terminal of the reset device 15 and the output terminal of the bias adjustment device 14 are both connected to the drain of the drive transistor T2, so the time period of the reset stage and the time period of the bias adjustment stage do not overlap.

In the reset stage, the effective pulse of the scan signal S3 controls the reset device 15 to be turned on, and the effective pulse of the scan signal S2 controls the compensation device 13 to be turned on so that the reset signal Vref provided by the reset signal terminal is written into the drain D of the drive transistor T2 through the turned-on reset device 15 and written from the drain D of the drive transistor T2 into the gate of the drive transistor T2 through the turned-on compensation device 13.

In this case, the voltage of the gate of the drive transistor T2 is higher than the voltage of the drain of the drive transistor T2 so that the both the voltage of the gate and the voltage of the drain of the drive transistor T2 are biased.

In this embodiment, the first power supply voltage signal line PVDDL applies the first power supply voltage signal Vdd to the pixel circuit 10 so that in the light emission stage, the drive transistor T2 provides the drive current for the light-emitting element 20 to control the light-emitting element 20 to emit light. Apparently, the first power supply voltage signal Vdd provided by the first power supply voltage signal line PVDDL to the pixel circuit 10 must ensure that the light-emitting element 20 may normally emit light.

Referring to FIG. 26 , FIG. 26 is a schematic diagram of a display panel according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.

By way of example, referring to FIG. 27 , FIG. 27 is a schematic diagram of a display panel according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 27 , in an embodiment, the display panel includes the bias adjustment signal line, and the bias adjustment signal terminal is connected to the bias adjustment signal line. In an embodiment, the display panel further includes a drive circuit 100 and an integrated chip 200. The drive circuit 100 provides a drive signal to the pixel circuit 10, and the integrated chip 200 provides a first drive signal and a second drive signal to the drive circuit 100. The first drive signal is a high-level signal V0H, and the second drive signal is a low-level signal V0L. The drive transistor is a PMOS transistor, and the bias adjustment signal is V0H same as the first drive signal, or the drive transistor is an NMOS transistor, and the bias adjustment signal is V0L same as the second drive signal. In such arrangement, an existing signal in the panel may also serve as the bias adjustment signal so that the design process of the panel can be simplified, and the wiring space of the panel can be saved.

In this embodiment, the display panel includes the integrated chip 200, and the integrated chip 200 is configured to provide the drive signal required to the pixel circuit such as the data signal Vdata, the reset signal Vref, and the bias adjustment signal V0. The display panel further includes the drive circuit 100, and the integrated chip 200 and the drive circuit 100 are both disposed in a non-display region NDA of the display panel. The drive circuit 100 provides the drive signal to the pixel circuit 10 in the display region AA. In an embodiment, the drive signal includes one or more of a scan signal, a bias adjustment signal, a reset signal, an initialization signal, a data write signal, a power supply voltage signal, or a light-emitting control signal.

In an embodiment, at least one side frame of the display panel is provided with the first drive signal line 101 and the second drive signal line 102. In a case where the drive transistor is a PMOS transistor, the bias adjustment signal line 32 a is connected to the first drive signal line 101; or in a case where the drive transistor is an NMOS transistor, the bias adjustment signal line 32 b is connected to the second drive signal line 102. In this embodiment, the first drive signal line 101 and the second drive signal line 102 are located on the same side frame of the display panel. In other embodiments, the first drive signal line and the second drive signal line are located on different side frames of the display panel. In such arrangement, an area of the side frame can be further saved by reusing signal wirings.

It is to be noted that all the drive transistors of the pixel circuits 10 in the display panel may be same PMOS transistors or same NMOS transistors. As shown in FIG. 27 , the types of drive transistors of two adjacent rows of pixel circuits 10 are different, which is just for example, in order to illustrate connection manners between different drive signal lines and bias adjustment signal lines. The circuit structure of the display panel is not limited thereto.

By way of example, for the display panel described in any one of the preceding embodiments, in an embodiment, in the light emission stage of the light-emitting element, the source voltage of the drive transistor is Vs1, the voltage of the drain of the drive transistor is Vd1, and the voltage of the gate of the drive transistor is Vg1; in the bias adjustment stage, the source voltage of the drive transistor is Vs2, the voltage of the drain of the drive transistor is Vd2, the voltage of the gate of the drive transistor is Vg2, and the bias adjustment signal is V0. In a case where the drive transistor is a PMOS transistor, (V0−Vg2)≥(Vg1−Vd1) is satisfied; or in a case where the drive transistor is an NMOS transistor, (Vg2−V0)≥(Vd1−Vg1) is satisfied.

The working process of the pixel circuit includes a pre-stage and a light emission stage, and the pre-stage includes the bias adjustment stage.

In a case where the drive transistor is a PMOS transistor, in the bias adjustment stage, the voltage of the gate of the drive transistor is Vg2, and the voltage of the drain of the drive transistor is V0 same as the bias adjustment signal, satisfying V0=V0H, and the drive transistor is reversely biased in this stage, accordingly, the voltage Vg2 of the gate of the drive transistor is lower than the voltage V0 of the drain of the drive transistor, that is, Vg2 is less than V0, and it can be known that V0−Vg2 is greater than zero. In the light emission stage, the voltage of the gate of the drive transistor is Vg1, the voltage of the drain of the drive transistor is Vd1, and the drive transistor is in a non-reverse biased state in this stage, accordingly, the voltage Vg1 of the gate of the drive transistor is higher than the voltage Vd1 of the drain of the drive transistor, that is, Vg1>Vd1, and it can be known that Vg1−Vd1>0. Since the non-bias stage such as the light emission stage of the display panel have a relatively long time, to fully balance the threshold voltage drift in the non-bias stage in the bias adjustment stage and avoid a long time of the bias adjustment stage, it may be set: (V0−Vg2)≥(Vg1−Vd1). In such arrangement, V0−Vg2 in the bias adjustment stage is great enough so that in the bias adjustment stage, the expected bias effect is achieved as soon as possible, and the phenomenon of threshold voltage drift caused by the potential difference between the potential of the gate of the drive transistor and the potential of the drain of the drive transistor in the light emission stage is ameliorated.

In a case where the drive transistor is an NMOS transistor, in the bias adjustment stage, the voltage of the gate of the drive transistor is Vg2, and the voltage of the drain of the drive transistor is V0 same as the bias adjustment signal, satisfying V0=V0L, and moreover, the drive transistor is reversely biased in this stage, accordingly, the voltage Vg2 of the gate of the drive transistor is higher than the voltage V0 of the drain of the drive transistor, that is, Vg2 is greater than V0, and it can be known that Vg2−V0 is greater than zero. In the light emission stage, the voltage of the gate of the drive transistor is Vg1, the voltage of the drain of the drive transistor is Vd1, and the drive transistor is in a non-reverse biased state in this stage, accordingly, the voltage Vg1 of the gate of the drive transistor is lower than the voltage Vd1 of the drain of the drive transistor, and it can be known that Vd1−Vg1>0. Since the non-bias stage such as the light emission stage of the display panel have a relatively long time, to fully balance the threshold voltage drift in the non-bias stage in the bias adjustment stage and avoid a long time of the bias adjustment stage, it may be set: (Vg2−V0)≥(Vd1−Vg1). In such arrangement, Vg2−V0 in the bias adjustment stage is great enough so that in the bias adjustment stage, the expected bias effect is achieved as soon as possible, and the phenomenon of threshold voltage drift caused by the potential difference between the potential of the gate of the drive transistor and the potential of the drain of the drive transistor in the light emission stage is ameliorated.

By way of example, for the display panel of any one of the preceding embodiments, in an embodiment, the pixel circuit 10 includes the first light-emitting control device 17, and the light-emitting control device 17 is connected between the first power supply voltage signal terminal PVDD and the drive device 12, where the first power supply voltage signal terminal PVDD provides the high-level signal Vdd. In a case where the bias adjustment signal is V0, the high-level signal provided by the first power supply voltage signal terminal PVDD is Vdd, and the drive transistor is a PMOS transistor, V0>Vdd is satisfied. In an embodiment, V0≥Vdd×1.2 is satisfied.

In a case where the drive transistor is a PMOS transistor, V0 is a high-level signal. To fully balance the threshold voltage drift in the light emission stage in the bias adjustment stage, V0 may be set to be great enough, and then the potential difference between the voltage V0 of the drain of the drive transistor and the voltage of the gate of the drive transistor in the bias adjustment stage is great enough so that in the bias adjustment stage, the expected bias effect is achieved as soon as possible, and the phenomenon of threshold voltage drift caused by the potential difference between the potential of the gate of the drive transistor and the potential of the drain of the drive transistor in the light emission stage is ameliorated.

In a case where the bias adjustment effect on the voltage of the first power supply voltage signal Vdd is insufficient, to make the bias adjustment effect more apparent, V0 may be a voltage higher than the Vdd signal. For example, the Vdd signal is usually 4.6 V, then V0 is usually greater than or equal to (Vdd×1.2), that is, greater than or equal to 5.5 V. Generally, the range of V0 is from 6 V to 10 V, so that the voltage between the gate and the drain can be fully adjusted.

By way of example, for the display panel described in any one of the preceding embodiments, in an embodiment, the pixel circuit 10 includes the initialization device 16. In an embodiment, the initialization signal is a low-level signal, the bias adjustment signal is V0, the initialization signal is Vini, and in a case where the drive transistor T2 is an NMOS transistor, V0<Vini is satisfied. In an embodiment, V0≤Vini×1.2 is satisfied.

In a case where the drive transistor is an NMOS transistor, V0 is a low-level signal. To fully balance the threshold voltage drift in the light emission stage in the bias adjustment stage, V0 may be set to be small enough, and then the potential difference between the voltage of the gate and the voltage V0 of the drain of the drive transistor in the bias adjustment stage is great enough so that in the bias adjustment stage, the expected bias effect is achieved as soon as possible, and the phenomenon of threshold voltage drift caused by the potential difference between the potential of the gate of the drive transistor and the potential of the drain of the drive transistor in the light emission stage is ameliorated.

In a case where the bias adjustment effect on the initialization signal Vini is insufficient, to make the bias adjustment effect more apparent, V0 may be a voltage lower than Vini. For example, currently, Vini is usually −3.6V, accordingly, V0 is usually lower than or equal to (Vini×1.2), that is, lower than or equal to −4.3V. Generally, the range of V0 is from −10V to −5V, so that the voltage between the gate and the drain can be fully adjusted.

Based on a same inventive concept, embodiments of the present disclosure further provide a display device. The display device includes the preceding display panel. In an embodiment, the display panel is an organic light-emitting display panel or a micro LED display panel.

It is to be understood that the preceding embodiments merely provide some examples of the pixel circuit structures, and the display panel further includes other structures, which will not be repeated herein.

In this embodiment, by setting the bias adjustment device, the bias adjustment signal provided to the drain of the drive transistor is adjusted.

The display panel includes non-bias stages such as the light emission stage. In this stage, in a case where the PMOS drive transistor is turned on, a situation where the potential of the gate of the drive transistor is higher than the potential of the drain of the drive transistor may exists, and the voltage difference between the gate and the drain may be relatively great. In such a case, the Id-Vg curve of the drive transistor is caused to drift, which further cause the threshold voltage Vth of the drive transistor to drift. To ameliorate this phenomenon, the bias adjustment stage is set, so that the potential of the gate of the drive transistor is lower than the potential of the drain of the drive transistor, and in such arrangement, the potential difference between the potential of the gate of the drive transistor and the potential of the drain of the drive transistor is adjusted, the Id-Vg curve drift is ameliorated, and thus the phenomenon of threshold voltage Vth drift of the drive transistor is ameliorated.
